Current Events > CYOA: You are a Magikarp and your grandfather is dying of cancer.

(+) Yeah! (+)

B.

B: Dr Cool-Joy! Use Liquid Ooze!

You: "Magikarp Magikarp! Magikarp!" (Its wide open! Use Liquid Ooze!)

Tentacool: "Tentacool Tentacool." (Fine but I'm doing this for her not for you.)

The injured Tentacool squelches back up and fires a toxic mist right at the Hitmontop mid spin. The Ooze splatters everywhere, causing the Hitmontop to lose its sense of direction but it doesn't stop the attack.

The Hitmontop spins uncontrollably and crashes right into the wall next to the window. Smashing it over over over with his limbs, each blow doing further damage to the hull until with a loud smack an entire segment of hull plating comes flying off, creating a huge hole in the side of the Zeppelin .

You feel the intense cold wind start to blow into the Hallway. Copper Rose can barely keep her towel on.

At the same time Pikachu tries to charge an attack but Raticate catches him with a Quick Attack, keeping Pikachu on the ground, barely conscious. Dr Cool-Joy staggers back to her feet to find that one of her pens in her chest pocket got crushed by Hitmontop and is dripping everywhere.

Dr Cool-Joy: "Hey you ruined my pen. Oops sorry."

When she pulls it out she squeezes it a little and ink flies across the room. The ink catches the Raticate in the eyes and mouth. Making it cough and splutter as it backs up. Then it hisses and lunges at Dr Cool-Joy for a Hyper Fang, only to miss as she side steps, grabs it by the tail and holds it up as it thrases about helplessly.

Dr Cool-Joy: "How uncouth."

Cassidy: "Hey! Put down my Raticate this instance!"

Tentacool: "Tentacool!" (Gladly!)

The Tentacool squelches up and smacks the upsidedown Raticate with Posion Sting while it's defenseless. Sending the Raticate across the room, and landing on Hitmontop. At least they are both upsidedown. Seems fiiting.

Things are looking bleak for Team Rocket until Meowth seizes his moment. He hops on Tentacool's head, using it as a springboard to pounce and scratches Dr Cool-Joy in the eye. As she staggers back Meowth finishes by landing on Pikachu like he was a crash pad. Craftily taking everyone down in a single moment.

You: "Magikarp Magikarp!" (That's not fair!)

Meowth: "What? This isn't a gym battle. What do you think is going to happen? We're going to be disqualified? Besides you're welcome to step in any time fishface! I'll finish the job from earlier!"

Pikachu squeals loudly as Meowth steps on his body like he stepped on you in the shower and raises his claw.

Meowth: "Victory for Team Rockkkkkkeeeeeaaaaaagh!"

It's caught mid-sentence out of no where by a Water Gun from the Psyduck who just sorta slowly waddled into the fight awkwardly. Meowth is sent down to the ground with a quiet splat.

Meowth: "What the duck!? Who said you could stick your beak in this!?"

Psyduck: "Psyyyyy " (Someone attacked my owner. And I doubt it was the fish or the Pikachu/Tentacool that weren't in the room.)

Meowth: "Well you don't know that it wasn't."

You: "Magikarp Magikarp. " (It wasn't. It was that girl in the black outfit.)

Meowth: "You're not involved in this!"

You: "Magikarp." (I feel pretty involved)

Meowth tries to attack Psyduck but is caught by a Thundershock from Pikachu.
Raticate tries to attack Pikachu but is caught by a flurry of tentcles from Tentacool.
Hitmontop tries to attack Tentacool but is caught by a Zen Headbutt from Psyduck.

All 3 end up at Cassidy and Butch's feet.

Butch: "This could not possibly get any worse."
Cassidy: "Why did you have to say it!?"

Psyduck: "Pssssssssy" (This is going to hurt you more than it hurts me. And that's saying something.)
Pikachu: "Piiikkka chuuu!!! (Imma firing my lazor!!!!)
Tentacool: "Tentacool" (Time for you to cool off!)

The combination of Tentacool with its ink, Pikachu with his Thunderbolt, Psyduck with its Water Pulse and you with your.... emotional support, creates some kind of special beam like cannon that blasts Butch, Cassidy, Raticate, Hitmontop and Meowth at the same time.

The attack sends them flying through the hole and across the sky in a shocking wet inky explosion.

Butch: "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
Cassidy: "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
Raticate: "Raticate!" (Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!)

All except for Meowth who manages to cling onto the edge just like you did, only he's much better at it due to his sharp claws.

Meowth: "Ugh is there anything they don't copy off us?"

He then looks up at all of you while holding onto the edge.

Meowth: "I mean ermm... copy off soneone else's. I'm not with them. Cat's travel alone as you well know."

Pikachu starts charging another attack. Meowth starts panicking and begging.

Pikachu: "Piiikkka chu!" (Do you know what happens to a cat when it's struck by lightning?)

Meowth: "Wait no please! I only have 3 lives left! Don't do this! I'm not with them. I'll be good. I swear! I'm innocent! I'm just a victim of circumstance! We pokemon gotta stick together! I wouldn't do this to you. Whaddya say? Please!? Old friends? I'll do anything!'

What do you do?

A. Spare Meowth, help him back in.
B. Let Pikachu blast him out.
C. Push Meowth out yourself, revenge is a dish best served fishy.
D. Throw a Heal Ball at Meowth.
E. Throw a Heal Ball at Pikachu.

E. Throw a Heal Ball at Pikachu.

You flop over to Meowth and reach out one of your pectoral fins.

Meowth: "Oh thank you! Thank you! You won't regre-"

Meowth reaches out with one of his front paws only for you to suddenly spin on the spot and smack him across the face with your caudal fin, channeling the force of years of frustration behind it.

It doesn't hurt him but the force causes him to lose his grip and plummet towards the snapping Croconaws.

Meowth: "THHHHHIIIIISSSS! You baaaaaarrrstarrrd!"

You're too high up to even hear the splash.

Pikachu: "Pika pika- Pikachu..." (The same thing that happens to everyone e- hey what did you do that for!?")

Pikachu stops charging and is confused

You: "Magikarp Magikarp.... Magikarp."(I guess I was being.... shocking!)

You quickly throw your Heal Ball at Pikachu, smacking it right in the face and capturing him inside.

The ball shakes vigorously for a tense few moments but eventually clamps shut. The Pikachu is too injured to resist.

Tentacool: "Tentacool Tentacool."(that was cold.)

You: "Magikarp Magikarp Magikarp."(Not cold. It was cool.)

Tentacool: "Tentacool Tentacool. "(I literally just made that pun.)

You: "Magikarp Magikarp."(Yeah but I did cooler."

Tentacool: "Tentacool. " (I hate you)

Pyduck: "Psyyyy" (That gave me a headache.)

You caught a Pikachu

With a new unwilling member of your entourage and cold wind still blowing from the outside, you take a moment to get your bearings.

Dr Cool-Joy is rubbing her eye. The tentacool is trying to comfort her. In contrast Copper Rose is wide-eyed and mouth agape in confusion. The Psyduck has awkwardly waddled up to the end of the hall and is looking out the window in the door. Seemingly disinterested.

Copper Rose: "Did those people just.... Did that Magikarp just.....The cat and the Pikachu.. I'm totally freaking out."

Dr Cool-Joy: "Well at least everything's not on fire this time."
Tentacool: "Tentacool Tentacool." (Don't worry, I'll protect you.)

Copper Rose: "W-what....?"

Dr Cool-Joy: "Strangely you start to get used to it."

Copper Rose takes a step towards Dr Cool-Joy when the Tentacool starts waving it's tentacles at her territoriality.

Tentacool: "Tentacool! Tentacool tentacool!" (Stay back! I don't know you!)

Copper Rose: "Why is there a squid on your shoulder?.... I have so many questions..."

Copper Rose stomps right up to you. Her towel flapping about in the wind.

Copper Rose: "Listen you! I want answers! And nothing is going to stop me from g-"

Psyduck: "Psssssssssssyyyy..." (I don't want to alarm you but about 12 more of them are heading this way)

A dozen? You can't fight that many at once. You don't know what to do until a strange sensation forms in your head. You're very unfamilar with it. Oh that's it! You've had an idea! You quickly withdraw Dr Cool-Joy and grab the Red and White Cap that fell in front of the door.

You Obtained Item: Red and White Cap.

Then you flop back into the washing room, jump over the KOed maid and grab some more of the loose clothes that Butch threw around. You then leap into one of the many top loading washers and put the clothes on top of you. Now you just look like a pile of clothes in a washing machine that's finished its cycle.

Copper Rose indignantly follows you, reaches into the washer, grabs you and tries to pull you out.

Copper Rose: "I was talking to you! Do you know who I am!? I'm not going to accept this treatment. Not fro- Hey what do you think you're doigmgmmmfphg"

You use your weight and her small frame to pull her into washer with you. Then you stuff your fin inside her mouth to keep her quiet. Now she just looks like a dirty towel. Good thing too as at that moment several burly Team Rocket security agents burst into the hallway.

Team Rocket Member #1: "Boss says we need to find a big Pokeball and Magikarp. Every agent on board is searching. You found anything?"

Team rocket member #2: "No there's nothing here but a freshly made gigantic extremely dangerous hole in the hull, an unconcious teen, an unconcious maid, a torn up smelly dress and a duck."

Psyduck: "Pssssssssssssssy..." (Hello.)

Team rocket member #1: "Ugh. We never find anything interesting. Alright let's try the next deck."

Team Rocket member #2: "Wait hang on a minute... what is that?"

You scales start to shiver as you see him walk right towards your washer. With several other agents behind him.

Team Rocket member #2: "Just as I thought!... They've mixed lights and darks! Terrible."

Team Rocket member #1: "Damn shame. Guess that's why the kid knocked out the maid then passed out in shock. Right I suggest the next place we should search is the mess hall"

Team Rocket Member #2: "Yeah! Could be in the dessert tray. Gotta check that out."

You breathe a sigh of relief as they all walk away. None the wiser.

Once you're sure they're gone you leap out of the washer. The Psyduck is nudging the maid with its beak. She hasn't moved an inch.

Psyduck: "Pssyyyyyyy..." (I think her head is worse than mine....)

Copper Rose pokes her head out of the washer with a dirty sock caught in her hair. Then throws it off and clambers out.

Copper Rose: "Oh no! I am not accepting this. This is officially the worst day of my life and I don't even care what's going on. I don't care if everyone's trying to kill you and that you're a fish who throws people out of Zeppelins and captures everyone! This is all your fault! I am Copper Rose! The Exotic Wonder of The East! I'm not going anywhere until you pay me back for every single injustice I have suffered! Hey where are you going? Aren't you listening to me!? HEY! STOP IGNORING ME! I'M COPPER ROSE! STOP IT! I AM TALKING!"

You flop away deep in thought, wondering what to do next. On one hand the Master Ball wasn't here. On the other, Team Rocket seems hellbent on getting it back. You need a plan.

Psyduck: "Pssssssyyy...." (I can't handle this right now, I have a headache)

What do you do?

A: Keep hiding. It worked fine just now so we just need to find somewhere to hide until the Zeppelin lands. Then we'll be safe and try to get home back to grandfather. Ultimately they want the Master Ball. Not you.
B: Fight it out! We beat Blaine. We took down those chumps. We got no reason to be afraid. We can just fight every Team Rocket member agent on the ship one by one if we need to. We have to find that Master Ball!
C: Disguise yourself. They're looking for a Magikarp? Well then let's be something else and sneak around until we find that Master Ball.
D: Forget Team Rocket and the Master Ball. You need to help the Psyduck get the Maid to the infirmary.

C: Disguise yourself. They're looking for a Magikarp? Well then let's be something else and sneak around until we find that Master Ball.

If they're looking for Magikarp. Then just don't be a Magikarp! It seems so obvious.

You start going through the dirty clothes until you can find something that fits comfortably around your fishy frame without falling off. Eventually resorting to wrapping a cloak around the top to keep it from falling off. Then you pull out the trusty Fishing Rod that you stole from Old Joe and slide it down the leg of a pair of red pants.

You take the unconcious maid's shoes and using your mouth tie the bottom of the pants into the shoes so they stay together.

You awkwardly balance yourself on top of the Fishing Rod and tie your Caudal Fin around the tip of it using the fishing wire. Using it to hop around as a stilt is awkward but only marginally more difficult than moving around out of water.

Copper Rose: "I was not ready for today...."

Finally you finish it off by placing the Red and White Cap on your head!

The perfect disguise! Ta-da! You look just like..... You have no idea. You can't see yourself well and don't know anything about clothes, or much about humans come to think of it. You need a second opinion.



Magikarp: "Magikarp! Magikarp Magikarp!" (Hey! How do I look?)

Psyduck: "Psssssssy..." (Like my 4th wife.)

Magikarp: "Magikarp Magikarp...." (How many wives have you had?)

Psyduck: "Psssy." (3)

Copper Rose: "Will you stop ignoring me! I demand some respect and some ans... Stop walking away! Fine then. Fine! I don't even care. I'll just say here shall I? See how you like being ignored I'm just fine right here without you.... ..... COME! BACK! Don't leave me!"

You hobble hop your way out of the room and head back the way you came (well were carried) to get get back up the Zeppelin. Copper Rose's yelling getting quieter as you go.

Before long you see a Team Rocket grunt, leaning against a wall beside the door leading to a stairs crossroad. Drat they've stationed guards! He's wearing sunglasses indoors though, a perfect test of your disguse!

With your heart racing you try to look as casual as possible as you maneuver right past him through the door.

Team Rocket member: "Nothing to report."

Aha! It works!... You think... wait.....

Team Rocket member: "All clear...zzzz........Yes mom I'm just packing my satchel...zzZZZzzz..."

He's asleep at his post!... So much for your test. Well too late to turn back now.

Team Rocket are 'searching' the Mess Hall in large numbers and you know the Master Ball didn't come down here to the lowest decks, it wasn't in Copper Rose's dressing room and it fell down the vent on the highest deck. So it must have somehow wound up in the middle of the Zeppelin somewhere near the stage section. A helpful sign at the stairway crossroads informs you that those decks are the V.I.P Area with the first class nicer rooms encircling a Casino.

Well fitting I guess since it's time to place your bets. You awkwardly hop up the stairs and head towards the Casino when you hear raised voices coming from the corrirdor ahead.

You get as close as you can to the voices then try to hide behind a large potted plant to remain hidden.

You see a silm woman in a red suit who appears to be arguing with a teenage boy with perfectly groomed blond hair who is wearing an immacuate much more expensive suit. There is a large man protectively standing silently behind him wearing ninja garb.

Matori: "I'm afraid that's quite impossible Winston. I assure you, our men are searching the entire Zeppelin and If necessary we'll just have to hover above Pewter City until our property is returned."

Winston: "A delay is unacceptable Matori. The maiden voyage of my Zeppelin cannot be late at the very first stop of its very first cruise. Let alone to find a Magikarp and a Pokeball. Do you think this is amusing? Do you think Koga here can just arrive at Victory Road when he feels like it?"

Matori: "My boss paid you a substantial amount of money to-"

Winston: "I don't care. He gets the rooms and services he paid for and nothing more. We're on a schedule and nothing will interfere with it! Besides, I never gave you permission to search my ship. You Team Rocket Bozos better not be poking around in people's rooms."

Matori: "Now you listen here rich boy. You may be a big shot in your small pond with your little snooty servants but do you have any idea who I work for?"

Winston: "Some blowhard?"

Matori grabs Winston by the lapels.

Matori: "I'm going to tell you this once and once only. This Zeppelin will land, when we say it will land. Do you understand that or do I need to get your butler to chisel it in gold before you can comprehend it?"

With a sudden flick of his wrist, Koga sends out a pokeball and within seconds a Skuntank emerges, pounces on Matori in mid-air, knocks her down and is poised to spray her right in the face.

Koga: "I think you should rephrase that."

Matori: "Umm.. Wha...What I meant to say.. S-s-s-sirs. Is that I'm sure we will arrive on time. It's just that we can't land until my boss has reclaimed his property."

Winston: "Do you see this man behind me?"

Matori: "Ummm... Y-yes? K-k-k-koga?"

Matori stutters, unsure if this is a trick question.

Winston: "He lost one of his pokemon before we took off. We still launched on time. We will land on time. He is one of the Elite 4 and he sacrificed one of his pokemon because it was less important than interfering with my schedule. Now with that In mind, do you understand how little your boss's lost property means to me? Or do I need to have it chiseled on your face before you can you comprehend it?"

The Skuntank hisses loudly

Matori: "I-i-i-i Understand.... Sirs..."

Winston: "Good. You can go now."

Koga withdraws the Skuntank with another tiny hand gesture and hasn't moved from the spot this entire time. Matori quickly scampers to her feet and runs away. You think she might be crying. You expect she's not used to someone standing up to her.

Winston: "Well that was unpleasant. Come on Koga. Let's go see how much I've won off these fools in the Casino. That'll cheer me up."

Winston walks down the corridor with a casual strut and through a door towards the Casino. Koga follows silently but then suddenly stops out of the blue as if he sensed something. He turns around and looks directly at you behind the plant, all the way down the corrirdor.

Koga: "Wait I know you...."

You zip down as low as you can go behind the plant but it's too late, he definately caught a glimspe of something and is coming to investigate. With quiet delibrate steps.

No nono nono no. Your first test of your disguise cannot be against an Elite 4. That's just not fair!

What do you do?

A: Say absolutely nothing. Just stay completely motionless and make no sound whatsoever until he eventually gets bored and walks off.
B: Attempt some kind of flip. He'll think you're a ninja too.
C. Shout "Magik" and perform a magic trick. He'll think you're a magician act for the Zeppelin.
D. Attempt to make some kind of growling noises and try to crawl around. He'll think you're a Growlithe in a costume.
E: Perform your best dance moves. Half the Zeppelin already thinks you're Copper Rose.
F: Try to storm right by him as indigantly as you can. Giving him a shoulder tap as you go by. He'll think you're a rich spoiled passenger.
H: Change of plan! Run away!
I: Change of plan! Fight! You can take him!

I didn't at first because in my head I wanted the idea to be that you had no idea what you looked like in the disguise. And I thought it might be funny to have really vaired and ambigious reactions from people so it was never clear wtf you looked like and as such didn't know how to react.

But when I typed it out it really didn't come across well and made even less sense than usual so I just went with a simple pic.

I, Robo-Uh I mean I, Bruno.

I: Change of plan! Fight! You can take him!

You're not going to wait around to see how this plays out. Once Koga gets close enough you leap out from behind the plant and try to flail yourself at him for a devistating surprise attack. Except he isn't there. You just faceplant onto empty ground.

You're confused until you hear his voice coming from behind you.

Koga: "So you're the one everyone is chasing after. As I suspected. Interesting."

You hop back up to your feet. Well foot... Well stilt. And Koga is running right at you full sprint. You brace yourself for the worst only for him to leap at the last moment, glide over your head, do a series of flips and land on his feet behind you with his arms folded. He's so fast.



Koga: "A mere Magikarp like you dares to challenge me? The very idea makes me shiver with mirth! Very well, I shall show you true terror as a ninja master!"

He doesn't seem to be shivering...but you are. He does a series of cartwheels to create some distance between you, then makes a strange series of practiced handgestures.

Koga: "You have come at a truly opportune time. I was just thinking that I wanted to test my newly refined sinister techniques before I reach Victory Road."

Koga wants to battle!

With a flick of his wrist he throws a pokeball and a Swalot emrges in a flash.

Swalot: "Swalot Swalot!" (Dinner Time!)

It starts making a beeline for you while rubbing its belly with stubby arms.



What do you do:

A: This is going to be a struggle, but you've got this! Attack!
B: Time to test out that Pikachu!
C: I choose you TRAINER! (Injured) (Accuracy Drop)
D: He's shivering eh? Better go see Dr Cool-Joy! (Injured) (Accuracy Drop)
E: You're not scared of the Elite 4 when you have one of your own! go Bruno!
F: I was not prepared for this. Run away!
